Rock Salt - Chef 101

-

Rock Salt is one of the signature restaurant­s at Cinnamon Bey which provides customers the opportunit­y to prepare their own meals the way like it. It truly is a wonderful experience and quite an unforgetta­ble one. ( Don’t worry, it doesn’t involve long hours in the kitchen). They provide you a personalis­ed dish or you can also choose one of their signature dishes off the menu which you can then cook on the Hot Stones provided by the restaurant. You are also entitled to your very own “Toque Blanche” and an apron, which elevates your imaginatio­n and completes your chef experience.

We tried out their Seafood with Passion Fruit Salsa which consisted of prawns, salmon, cuttlefish and also a sushi roll complement­ed with a passion fruit and tomato salad which I thought was amazing. There was a lovely zing that the passion fruit gave and the seafood was cooked well and the two complement­ed each other quite well. However, the highlight came when we got the opportunit­y to be the chef. We got a platter of raw chicken, prawns, seer fish and salmon which we had to fry on our hot stones. We got salt, pepper and pink salt to season it with and also fresh asparagus, tomatoes, button mushrooms and also rice to go along with the meats. It truly is a thrilling and exciting journey and certainly not an experience you get everywhere . Don’t worry too much, even if you’re not that great a cook, the chef is always around to help and make your dinner as palatable as possible. All in all, it’s a great restaurant to Indulge in a fusion of flavours from around the world presented with a unique twist - prepared with the best of ingredient­s to be seared on hot stones.these were simply three of the eight restaurant­s available at Cinnamon Bey Beruwala and each one is an experience in itself. This is most definitely the place to go if you are looking to treat yourself to a variety of Sri Lankan or internatio­nal cuisine, and to put it in simple terms, it is a one stop shop to satisfy all your culinary needs.
